Chapter 325: Method to Break the Formation

"It's simple if you want to get out. You want to call it a Tibetan Mastiff, then call it a Tibetan Mastiff, though I usually call it Beibei."

"With Beibei here, Beibei will protect you."

"Although normal people will be trapped here after entering, Beibei is a manifestation containing the power of the gods."

"With it here, the formation cannot trap you. But if you want to take me away, you must first destroy the formation."

"Only when this formation is broken can I leave."

It seemed that although this Saintess of Northern Pasture was trapped here, she was not helpless.

She had also been trying to find a way to leave here and had left a backup plan for it.

"How do I break the formation?"

Presumably, this Saintess of Northern Pasture must also know how to break this formation.

"Actually, it's very simple. There is a sculpture in the center of this tribe. Smash it, and this formation will naturally break."

It was indeed very simple.

It was placed in the open, right in the center of the tribe.

"Such a simple thing. You've been trapped here for ten years and haven't been able to complete it. Is there a reason?"

The simpler things sounded, the more difficult they might be in the end.

It had been a full ten years, just to smash a sculpture.

Nangong Tong Yuan hadn't been able to do it until now?

Then if it were Qin Feng, could he complete it easily?

I'm afraid it wasn't that simple.

"I have no way to get close to that place at all."

"Beibei also cannot get close."

"Only the villagers in this tribe can get close."

"But they cannot possibly smash that sculpture."

"Because that sculpture is the sculpture of the deity that this tribe worships, and it is also the sculpture of the deity that everyone in the entire Northern Pasture land worships."

"No one from the Northern Pasture land could possibly go and destroy it."

"Even if I could get close to it, I could not possibly destroy that sculpture!"

"Only an outsider can destroy the sculpture!"

This was their faith.

Nangong Tong Yuan, who had always been calm and self-possessed, finally had a somewhat agitated tone when saying this.

This sounded indeed very excessive.

Presumably, those five Holy Sons and Holy Daughters had also thought of this.

That was why they chose to use this sculpture as the eye of the formation.

Yes, as long as Nangong Tong Yuan was still the Saintess of Northern Pasture,

she could not destroy that sculpture.

As long as she destroyed that sculpture,

the gods of the Northern Pasture land would abandon Nangong Tong Yuan.

Then she would also no longer be the Saintess of Northern Pasture.

No matter what, Nangong Tong Yuan would no longer be their competitor.

This method was indeed vicious and indeed effective.

"Since it is a sculpture of a deity, how can it be destroyed casually?"

"If I destroy it, will I be punished by the deity?"

Although as a good youth of the new century, Qin Feng had always been a Marxist and an atheist.

But ever since the game descended on Earth and forcibly dragged all humans into the game,

Qin Feng was no longer an atheist.

If there really were gods, then his actions might very well bring danger to himself.

He was doing this to complete the mission, not to sacrifice himself.

"It's not as divine as you imagine; it's just a sculpture."

"We cannot destroy it because the sculpture carries the unique power bestowed by the deity."

"And we, the Holy Sons and Holy Daughters, as well as the people of the Northern Pasture land, are protected by the gods, so we naturally carry the mark of the gods on our bodies."

"Once someone who possesses the mark of the gods destroys the sculpture of the gods,"

"they will be immediately abandoned by the gods."

"Moreover, even if people from the Northern Pasture land destroy the sculpture, they won't be punished by the gods; they will just be abandoned. It's not that divine."

"Although I am the Saintess of the Royal Court, in fact, I have never worshipped the gods."

"In my view, these gods are just somewhat more powerful humans."

"It's just that their strength has reached a certain level and broken through some boundary."

"So they are powerful to the point that others cannot understand."

"To the extent that people have developed great awe for things they cannot understand, so they call them gods."

"As long as my talent is not destroyed, as long as I can continue to live and cultivate, one day I will definitely reach that level."

Nangong Tong Yuan said confidently and calmly, as if she were not arrogantly boasting, but stating a fact.

"Your words are truly somewhat rebellious; you aren't afraid of being besieged if you say that out loud."

She was clearly the Saintess of the Northern Pasture land, yet she said such disrespectful words.

She really wasn't afraid of being heard by the so-called gods.

It was indeed sufficiently unorthodox.

However, Qin Feng liked this way of speaking.

In his view, so-called gods were just somewhat more powerful humans.

Even if they weren't humans, they were just somewhat more powerful species.

As long as he worked hard enough, as long as he was determined to become stronger, one day he would be stronger than those creatures.

Even if he wasn't a complete atheist now, Qin Feng still wouldn't revere gods like other people did.

His faith would always be himself.

He believed that one day, he would definitely defeat the gods and become the strongest one.

"In this godforsaken place, who am I saying this to? The only one who can hear it is you."

"You aren't someone who worships gods either. What's the point of spreading my words?"

Through Qin Feng's previous performance, Nangong Tong Yuan had naturally already sensed that Qin Feng had almost no awe for gods.

Nor did he think gods were omnipotent or his own faith.

Looking at it this way, the two of them were actually quite similar.

"Fine, since there's no problem, then destroy it."

"But there's one point: I am just an ordinary person now."

"Although I wouldn't say I'm completely powerless, it probably isn't very realistic to go through the heavy obstacles of the villagers to destroy the sculpture right next to them."

"I don't believe that not a single person in this village has cultivated."

"And I certainly don't believe that these things, which might not even count as humans anymore, don't have strength beyond that of an ordinary person."

"They won't even let me get close to the deity's sculpture, so how am I supposed to destroy it?"

Although destroying the deity's sculpture could break the formation,

strength was also a very important thing.

It wasn't that just because Qin Feng was a person from outside the grassland, he could destroy the sculpture easily.

"You can rest assured about this; I will let Beibei go with you."

"At that time, it will hold back everyone, and you just need to focus on destroying the deity's sculpture."

With Nangong Tong Yuan's strength, no matter where she was placed, it could be considered very good.

Although it couldn't be considered top-tier yet, it was enough to make her peers pale in comparison.

How could such a Nangong Tong Yuan not see that Qin Feng was an ordinary person?

Since she decided to let this "ordinary person" Qin Feng destroy the deity's sculpture, it proved she had a way to let Qin Feng get close.

"There's one more point. Is that just an ordinary sculpture? Is there no power protecting it?"

"Can I just smash it to the ground and break it?"

This was also a problem.

After all, many special items were extremely difficult to destroy.

Unless one possessed powerful strength.

"You can rest assured about this. It's just a sculpture made of ordinary stone."

"Although it carries the mark of the deity, it is only used for sensing and has no other use."
